Going for Baroque

A special treat, before the Festival begins, is always the Donor Appreciation event. This year it was a spectacular all-Baroque program, put together by four Willamette Valley offspring coming from the far corners of the country to perform together for the first time.

Harpsichordist Jennifer Peterson of New York, who grew up in Eugene and took high State honors in both piano and violin, is now an opera conductor as well as an Early Music specialist. Her ensemble is called Galileo’s Daughters.
